Nord is now the LEAD recruiter for Georgia

[GatorJB]

It makes no sense to me why Nord is on staff. None whatsoever. I think a random high school coach could do a better job than him.

Was he a chump holdover

Nope

If you have to keep the guy give him every state west of the Rockies but south Georgia is the most fertile recruiting ground in the country minus south Florida. I guess mac has just ceded Georgia to Smart.

That's exactly what I said to myself Whenever I saw this and to be straight up that's exactly why Nord is there. Everyone in the country (including our staff) knows this man is useless in recruiting!

Say something positive about Nord. Because I can't think of anything. He's a poor recruiter, can't teach TE's to block or punt returners to plant their feet on the 10.

TE coach is basically a throwaway position. You could totally get by with just a Ga or QC cutting film, directing them to the right practice group and correctig errors seen on film. The TEs run route drills w the WRs and blocking drills w OL already. You can hide a moron like Addazio there if the dude happens to be a great recruiter or has some other redeeming value, like being a hotshot ST coordinator.

About that. I dont know how its possible to be worse on STs We havent blocked a punt or kick recently, returns are just "pray he doesnt muff it" propositions. I guess you could say w havent been giving up TDs on KOs, of course Eddie Kicksem out of the endzone most of the time.

I dont know whether his piss poor recruiting or terrible STs make us worse.

When we brought make Nusschamp and Nord, the results that are coming this year became inevitable. Some opined that was Strickland allowing Butters to hang himself. Im not so sure.

Nord checks both of those boxes so I don't see the problem here...

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

anybody know Nord's contract situation? Thought it expired in January?

He obviously has been extended...now we wait for the details on how long

 

[Alumni Guy]

Georgia has had almost or more blue-chippers than Florida lately.

 

[rogdochar]

Man...you can't make this $hit up! 4* Georgia LB JJ Rumors are he felt disrespected we sent Nord to see him (multiple times) and he absolutely hates Nord!

Actually, someone can make this stuff up*(= stuff about Peterson personally hating Nord.) = A fan whose hate for Nord takes flight. Still Nord should have been long gone.

[Quoted]Mac just can't get $hit figured out in recruiting because of his loyalty to these douchebag's (nord/nuss) both should of been let go like Summers. Neither brings in top prospects and if a top prospect does have interest in us that evaporates immediately after he meets with these clowns!

Should have list of recruits quotes announcing "I'm going elsewhere because of how________ affected me." ?
Otherwise, most likely it's a fan's hate-projection, so "fake news". But the fan-hate is reasonable & not fake.

All shown true on the field of play, Threat.

If such likelihood of shrinkslink from Ga.-recruiting is true, then 'Thinthink' can spot it. Nord should be replaced with some other university's up & comer hot at recruiting & coaching.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Ummm.. georgia has been getting like 3 times the blue chips we have been for a couple years now. They signed more top 100 players this spring than the entire rest of the SEC east combined.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

That should be a firable offense. All the way to the AD.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

How do ST look on paper? Where do we rank in return yards etc?
I did see Norf saying that we don't try to block punts because that's not our strength. Or strength is returns. Whateva.
Having this guy on the staff is a head scratcher.

 

[TN G8tr]

Nord is the equivalent to an pile of excrement. Sadler better be the one taking over on a lot of these kids. If they're about a 3* or higher Nord should not ever be allowed to be in the same zip code as the recruit.

 

[FireFoley]

Just when you think you can't say it enough, here I go again. From an overall head football coaching perspective, Butters is a moron!!!!!

 

[NVGator]

I wonder how this thread affect the, "State of the Board" propaganda?

 

[KronoGator]

Remember when we were told by inside sources that Nord was on his way out?

Now we are basically surrendering Georgia.

 

[Gator2222]

Man...you can't make this $hit up! 4* Georgia LB JJ Peterson (who's been considered a Gator lock for months) is now basically telling us to start looking elsewhere. Rumors are he felt disrespected we sent Nord to see him (multiple times) and he absolutely hates Nord!

Mac just can't get $hit figured out in recruiting because of his loyalty to these douchebag's (nord/nuss) both should of been let go like Summers. Neither brings in top prospects and if a top prospect does have interest in us that evaporates immediately after he meets with these clowns!

I'm having a hard time finding this information anywhere.

If I am reading this right, you are saying that Goldkamp wrote an article on 247Sports claiming that Peterson hates Nord and is not considering Florida because Nord is his recruiter? I'm not sure. Are you assuming he's not considering Florida because Nord is his recruiter?

I can't find anything about it.

In fact, the only information I can find about Peterson is claims that he has been 100% Bama all along. Where can I find the information that he has long been considered a Florida lean?

I'm not saying the information is incorrect. Just that it is unusually hard to find.

"Before Sunday, Peterson rarely had spoken to the media about where things stood with his mysterious recruitment.
It’s safe to call him the most unrecognized top prospect in the Class of 2018. He has a Twitter account, but he doesn’t use it. He has a phone, but rarely answers texts or calls — that includes numerous texts from Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt. To put it simply, Peterson doesn’t care much about the recruiting process."

"Peterson did give up some info with his recruitment. The elite 4-star prospect from South Georgia has Alabama as his No. 1 school. Georgia and Oregon are also in his top three. But it’s the Crimson Tide who have Peterson’s attention."

“I love Alabama,” Peterson said. “I love the home feeling I get there and how their coaches coach. The atmosphere there is great. I had a chance to talk to Coach Saban, too. It’s nerve-racking talking to him. I just remember seeing all of the rings in there and he had a bunch of chocolate in there — I think it was Dove chocolate. I love it.”

In the last week or two he's totally flipped from 100% to UF to 100% bama. Goldkamp explained who had which area in recruiting the other day and I couldn't tell which thread it's in because there's a bunch on there. I'm sure if you msg him he could tell you which one it's in. I'll see if I can find it but it will be tomorrow before I can do so...busy tonight! The news about him hating Nord has been on twitter and it's coming from his teammates along with people from his inner circle. Someone else sent me some stuff from his timeline where he and his teammates we're dogging Nord hard as hell!
